harsh downshift to first in manumatic
just today.. while i was driving.. using it in manual mode... the transmission harshly falls into first gear... i use manual all the time.. and this is the first time it happend.. even while goin at about 35.. and dropping it from 2nd to first... there is a harsh downshift with a loud thud.. and my 36k is almost up.. is this normal? wut should i do

i would agree..i have a se with the sport shift also...look at your RPMs when ur in second doing 35mph...anything i believe anything above 3k rpms will do that to ya...try down shifting at a lower rpm to avoid that..i also dont think doing that is good for ur engine and tranny..i've done the same thing u've done before...just left off the gas and let the rpms drop..try it out...u can downshift pretty easy when ur in 5th for example..just keep an eye on ur rpms always

even when the rpms are low too.. it still does it... even if its in auto.. at times i feel the down shift to first... in automatic too.... any ideas wut it can be.. i have tried downshifting at different speeds.. from high to low.. and every time i get the harsh downshift... i tried at 10 mph.. and still....

but, never downshift to first while rolling at that speed like that...

EDIT: If it only does this for shifts into 1st, then this probably isn't the problem... I'd recommend not doing that either (I've also down shifted into 1st at low speeds and even going like 5MPh, there is a small lurch - I'd just let the computer hanle it).

The reason you heard a thud is because you dont downshift to first gear ever. Let the computer do it. If you driving a 6spd of your car and you downshifted into first at too fast of a speed you will clunk into first jumping all over the road like you had hydros in you ride.
